The Bee Four electric racing vehicle (ERV) is being
developed in conjunction with Martin Ogilvie, the former Lotus F1
designer, with the intention of winning the British Speed Hill Climb
Championship in 2009. The ERV code named the ‘Watt 4’ is an all electric
4WD vehicle capable of producing 700hp or 520kW.
Partners in the project include Oxford University and MIRA Ltd – Motor
Industry Research Association.
The Bee Four electric racing car will be driven in the 2009 season by
Graeme Wight, a former two times British Speed Hill Climb Champion, who
has held outright records at Doune, Loton Park, Prescott and Shelsley
Walsh.
The Bee Four is part of a business plan by Bee Automobiles to produce a
range of electric production cars. The business will be further funded
by private equity.
